Preparation is essential in all we do and especially with things that have eternal value.

That is why I am so impressed with the preparation our adult leaders do to lead their small groups. This past week I was with a group of leaders who were talking about today’s lesson. The biblical knowledge and background information they shared was insightful. The theology and practical application was spot on ! Impressive.

This week I attended along with other adult leaders a four hour session on book of Matthew. The scholarly approach was informative and provides a great basis from which to share insights into Jesus and how we relate to Him.

On November 15 at 4:00 p.m. the preschool leaders are meeting to preview the next quarter and to discuss way we can continue to reach young families. Since this is the largest group aside from adults in our church, we are always looking for ways to meet needs, to teach spiritual truths and to reach families.

Preparation is important. Thank you for preparing by reading your personal study guide this week along with your Bible.
